How We Vet Carriers

Every carrier gets checked before they get a load.

Your vehicle is only as safe as the carrier hauling it. So before any carrier gets a load from JW Logistics, we check them.

What we check

  1. Authority (MC/DOT): We confirm the carrier has active operating authority with the FMCSA and a valid USDOT number.
  2. Insurance: We check that their insurance is active and get a certificate of insurance showing the coverage.
  3. Safety record: We review their federal safety data, including inspections, out-of-service rates and crash history.
  4. Load history: We look at their track record hauling vehicles and how long they’ve been operating.
  5. Identity: We confirm the carrier is who they say they are, which helps prevent fraud and double-brokering.

Why it matters

Fraud and unqualified carriers are a real problem in auto transport.

After pickup

Every shipment is documented in our transport management system with an electronic bill of lading and photo inspections at pickup and delivery, so there’s a clear record of your vehicle’s condition from start to finish.
